Summary outlook

  • Capex as % of revenue to normalise towards 8-11%, of which c.55% will relate to maintenance Capex
  • For 2019, total capex equivalent to c.22% of revenue, of which 40% relates to maintenance Capex
  • Total capex expected to reduce to c.11% in 2020 due to completion of Transformation program – This excludes capex spends on growth

accelerators that will provide upside to the Revenue and EBITDA guidance

  • Underlying depreciation & amortisation charge of c.12% of revenue p.a.
  • Affecting 2019 EBITDA of c.$32m, of which c. $16m will be IPO-related
  • Affecting 2019 Net Income of c.$47m, of which c. $16m will be IPO-related
  • 2020 onwards:
  • Specially disclosed items affecting EBITDA (ex. non-recurring SBC relating to the offering 3 ) of c.$3m p.a.
  • Specially disclosed items affecting Net Income (ex. non-recurring SBC relating to the offering 3) of c.$20m p.a. 4
  • Leverage target of 1.0 – 2.0x with continued strong de-leveraging potential5
  • Progressive dividend policy, targeting no less than 15% in early years post IPO
  • Dividend based on underlying net income

  • Low double-digit growth in the near term, accelerating to low to mid-teen growth over medium to long term
  • Number of tangible upside opportunities not included within guidance (i.e. Saudi Arabia, Outsourcing, M&A etc.)
